I think the new theme is much better than the previous one. It follows the style of the new windows UI perfectly. Although I'm not a big fan of the bright colors associated with the white background, it helps to read so it was a good choice.

I'd love a Nokia Lumia 920, yellow if possible

I follow you since a while, but I've never commented before. I guess that's a good opportunity to begin

I love the new design of the lumia 920! I currently have the 900, and i love it. The design and colors beat the pants off of many other phones. I was an android junkie before lumia 900, now im junking the robot for windows phone for life! If i had to choose which one id want now, it would be the lumia 920 cyan!

I love the new website design that's in line with Metro Modern UI that Windows 8 touts. Less is definetely more - and the website definitely looks clean, organised and uncluttered with the new design language. Let the content do the talking, because designs may change, but wpcentral has always been and remains my go-to site for wp/windows related news. Kudos alla way from Singapore!
(Would love to get my hands on an Ativ-S or 920, cause you can't go wrong with the WP8 top-dogs!)

The new web design is a great step forward for wpcentral! There is just one quirk I have though.. It is the fact that there are way too many comments that are loaded so it takes a while for the page to load on a phone.
Lumia 920!

I really like the new metro-inspired design! Actually the new comment counter led me to this page because I couldn'd believe the incredibly high number of comments... hopefully WP8 enjoys as much attention as this contest ;-)
Lumia 920 of course!

Love the new site design! It's very Window8esque (easy to move around the site, easy to read, very clear and clutter free!) Been a long time fan from the shadows and joined the site today! Keep up the great work! I would like the Lumia 920 if I were to win!

This is actually my first time going to the actual site but I read the feeds via Geekbyte on my HTC Arrive WP7 phone daily--near religiously.

With that said, I like the site. I'm on it using Win8's IE10 and it runs pretty smoothly. I was actually expecting something a bit rougher like most other non-MS windows based sites out there so it's actually a pleasant surprise. I was in the middle of adding the site to my Bento News Feeder and figured I'd drop in a word.
If luck shines my way I'd be rather happy with a Lumia 920 in Grey (IF i could use it on Verizon) if not an L822 any type of blue would be perfectly fine by me--especially since I'm trying to get AWAY from Sprint. Been with WP7 from the get go so either way I'm getting a WP8 by any means necessary!
Much Obliged!***Edit/Update***:
I Just realized that WPCentral is part of the parent site Mobile Nations. Pardon my ignorance. BUT the WPCentral section is still the best looking due to the clean blue wallpaper and the collage of feeds front and center as the header of the site. Very "Metro" inspired (hopefully I don't get sued for that one!). We need a WP8 app for the whole site though. I'm sure it'll come in due time though.

Just started following the whole Win 8 OS as I'm looking to ditch my current phone and run from its rabid fanboys. Site looks pretty slick and is very informative. I'll take that elusive matte gray Lumia 920 if it exists.

Great Contest guys. The site design looks really sharp, nice work. Given the choice of phone I'd pick the Nokia Lumia920. Even if it is a little big and thick, it still looks great. And I'd love to have that camera with me all the time. :D

Title fonts are a little aliased. Maybe a smoother version of the current one. Really slightly takes away from the clean lines of the rest of the site. And the sizing and color of the fonts in different places need to be adjusted (e.g., why are the links in the shop bar black?).
The ads are little distracting. The ad bar on the right kind of limits the space for your featured articles on the top of the page.
The cyan background is a little bit too loud and distracting from the center of the page. I would suggest just plain white.
Aside from that, definitely an improvement and step in the right direction. A few tweaks here and there, and it'll be Windows Phone news perfection.
Yellow Lumia 920

I like your new look aligns with the modern ui but keep the traditional website navigation layout. Some site totally update with modern side scroll, split scroll or other weird catch layout. Now only confusing to use and also take lots of resource and slow. I think you guys did a bang on job.
If I am the lucky winner, would love to have a cyan Lumia 920. Thanks and keep up the good work. Windows will be big.

i love the new lay out of the site whiich is inspired from the windows modern (metro) ui. I love the use of minimalistic background. the other good thing is highlighting the latest stories in bigger 'tiles'. The colours used in the pages are very calm and helps to read easily. .... BRAVO...
....................i love the new nokia 920 in yellow..............

Your new Look its very good looking and I also like the way the new V.3 app update looks on my 900.
I have to say that the htc its working hard to improve, But I will choose the Nokia Lumia 920 Yellow to be my next windows phone.

I like the new site design. I find it interesting, clean and fun just like Nokia's Lumia 920. When I first saw the new design, the first thing that came to my mind is Windows' Live Tiles. Browsing around the site more often, I see that the new design not only gives us, readers, something to looks at, but the colors and the way the articles are placed, makes it more appealing and thus encouraging us to read more articles. Once you read the article itself, then you'll see that it's unbiased and normally I see myself agreeing to what the author tries to point out. So I would say great work to you guys.

I like the way the new site and phone app are both being brought in line with the design ethos of the product you're reviewing. It makes for a great, consistent user experience whether I'm checking for updates on my phone or desktop (something that many other developers could do with thinking about).
If my comment is picked, I'd love a Lumia 920 in black.

the new site design looks simple yet interactive plus it's colourful... reminds me of the new modern ui... if i'll win, i would like to have a grey matte lumia 920 international or unlocked... thanks!!!

The new WPcentral site TOTALLY give me the experience using Windows 8 and WP 8. This brand new site design adopt the Live Tiles design and Modern UI style (Metro UI) in Win8 and WP8. What an amazing site! This site is five-rank website for Windows Phone! Not another site, right!
Personally I wish I can win maybe a red or blue Lumia (920 or 820 doesn't matter). Because I love Nokia. Nokia is my first handset and I love it until now! May WP Cental can grant my wish. Amen. (Please WPCentral...)

Hey, new member here. Really like the new site design, had only been on the old site a few times but its a real improvement. The metro interface shines through and makes the site cleaner and sleeker.
I would really appreciate a Nokia lumia 920, in black, especially as my current phone just died on me and I am now using a phone that's idea of an app is a pixelated sudoku game.

Really love the new site design - been following this site for a while, and I think this look fits perfectly, especially the homepage! As for a new Windows Phone, I need to replace my aging Omnia 7, and I think it's got to be the Lumia 920, just for the Nokia apps. I do prefer the look of the ATIV S, but Samsung just don't have the same ooomph given they're not dependant on the platform.

The design in flawless! I'll be frank the old one was a bit drag to browse since i saw this site a month ago, I would also suggest making the icons appear as windows tile or something cool like that in the new one.
moving to the next part, i would really like a NOKIA LUMIA 920 !!
I know its too much to ask but i figured out if anyone handing it out for free, who the hell am i to let it go!
I'll be buying the 920 even if i dont get one here , of course it would mean 3 months of my earnings as i'm from a third world and an unlocked one is the only option, but there are some things in life which are meant to be owned no matter what, so i'll be eagerly waiting for your reply,
Wish you all the best WPCENTRAL!

First off would like to say I think the New web site design is awsome. Very clean, Very user friendly, and Very Very Modern Design.. This site has become much more user friendly and easier to navigate around.... 5 stars on the redesign... Keep up the great work and as always I know that of all the other sites dedicated to each operationg systems Windows is leaps and bounds ahead of the others... I had a Nokia Lumina 900, but had quite a few issues with the phone... I am a very loyal ATT customer and have been with them for over 15 yrs plus... Back to Nokia, had call quality issues and had replacement phone sent, but had sim card problems after receiving replacement phone and tried, tried, tried, and tried to get issue solved.. But as you know everytime you call customer service you never get the same person nor do you get the same friendly or unfriendly service... I am aware that ATT is a large company and there customer service people are not always on top of the newest phones.. Like a script everytime I would call the first thing I would say is are you aware of the Nokia lumina phone and most would say no... So after telling them my problem just like a script first problem solver they would suggest was taking out the battery and then putting it back in... To which I would say do you know anything about the Nokia?? Then they would have to say No... They would then with their computer screen pull up the phone and say Oh yea I see you can't , no shit Sherlock.... Then they said I don't know I guess you will have to do a system reinstall and wipe out your phone and start over... I know I'm rambling and am could go on and on and on with the customer service or lack of their knowledge... I do realize that att has hundreds and humdreds of phones and really don't blame them.... Anyway back to my Lumina the replacement phone I received still did not work properly and numerious times I asked for a new sim care because when I was first connected to the warrantly dept. they had me remove it to see if I had water damaged the phone.. Which I didn't have and told the warranty person, anyway ever since that removal of the sim card the phone would on its on work or not work, and would never know if I was connected to the network or not except for trying to make a call and find I had no signal.. Then restarting the phone would reconnect me but never knew how long it would stay connected and when It would decide to shut off.... Anyway finally got a customer service woman who felt my frustration and actually understood my probloems and frustrations I had, had and suggested that I may want to change to another phone thru warrantly and gave me options to which I choose to take and switch to the HTC one x to which I think is a great phone and fingers crossed everything works all the time... But my point is that I would still love to go back to windows phone and looks like the new Nokia 920 is what I would love to own. And now with the windows 8 OS I think that windows and Nokia are light years ahead of the other OS and will in time overtake the other OS and be right up their with Apple as the Phone and OS to have.... I would love to get my hands on the Nokia 920 but no time soon will my 2 yr contract be up so I guess unless I could win one thru WP Central I will have to wait.... Thanks for letting me vent.... Sincerely koolkos54

I like the redesign, fresh, light, and colorful just like Windows Phone 8. Certainly sets you apart from the other Mobile Nations sites
I'm really wanting to have the Nokia Lumia 920. I think it's better than the rest primarily because of it's design and awesome camera. I don't care if it's big and heavy... I love it anyway!

The WPCentral site redesign is great and the new features on the front page really help those familar with the site as well as those who are new. Anyone who is new to th site can see traditional information like they would normally with pictures and such but they can also skim the headlines with "list view" or check out what's going on in the forums all on the main page. I would like a Lumia 920 (cyan)

I have been following this web site for a while as a windows phone user. This is amazing..news is always current and updated. Covers all the aspects of windows phone devices, launch, technology, accessories. There is no other place like this.

I recently bought lumia 900 (Dark Knight Edition :D) I didn't know what your site looked like before since I never visited it lol
but it looks great right now, keep it up :)
would love to get my hands on a lumia 920 in black

It takes time to explore the whole new design before I do the review...
First of all I love those square blocks, it really remind me of the live tiles presenting on Windows and Windows Phone these days. Well that's why the love of Windows Phone is still flying high on the air recently right? What I did not really like is the mix of color, it's bright, yet clear enough to separate categories without using lines or borders. Pink and blue go along great than I thought, but not with leaf green. Moreover colorful on-screen live tiles appear usually in hot news board make leaf green comment-count box look like a pain in the eyes. Other than that, good-looking background images, light shining color all over, improved usability score the rest of other mobile related sites.
Btw it's just my point by looking at the new design, I could do more but it would take pages to review the whole website not just the design LOL !

And it would be nice if I can win a Lumia 920. Yay I can't wait to have it ! xD

The release of windows 8 last week blew me away and made me interested to see if windows phone was evolved into something similar. Some of the posts here made me very curious about the lumia 920. So if I am lucky enough to win, a black nokia lumia 920 would be my choice. Keep up the good work guys!

I've been coming to the site since i first got into windows phone with my Samsung Focus, and i love the way the site has evolved over time, keep up the amazing work!
Also, a Nokia Lumia 920 in red, please! :D

I'm loving the site, it is excellent, myself being Brazilian seek news and information on WPCentral that differs from others doing a much better job, so much so that several news blogs are their stories and put you as the source. I'd like to win a Nokia Lumia 920 because like you he is different from all other smartphones and offers an amazing experience. Thanks for the chance.

I would love an HTC 8X as my first smartphone ever! Looks like an amazing device. Great site by the way! It's definitely helped me to decide on a Windows Phone over an iOS device or Android. Thank you!

I like the redesign because it's WPCentral 8. Shiny new WPCentral to go with shiny new W8 and WP8.
And that cool blue background works a treat.
Hm. Lumia 920. Black.
Or white. Or Cyan.
Red, Yellow, Magenta. HTC 8X. I'll take them all.

The HTC 8S Black&White seems also to be great :P
I live in Belgium and if I could have the HTC 8X in Black or the HTC 8S in Black/White, it would be reallu great !! :)
p.S.: I really love what you do and the v3 of the official app is amazing ! :D

Hi,
So what do I think of this webiste:
well, well, well.... first I have to tell you that I love everything colorful, my favorite color being lime green, and the fact that I like website where I can easily find my way to the "topic" I want to get to but with a touch of originality, the conclusion is that I love the new design of wpcentral.com
I especially like the right sidebar with all the latest articles, reviews or discussions... It's an easiest way to get to some article without spending a lot of time trying to find the right one. I REALLY like the fact that we can directly download your app frow a button on this sidebar. And I find it funny to see sharing button (facebook, twitter, google+....) looking like windows phone 8 button.
The typical phone or technology website design, is quite dark, or the are too much things or link on the same page. It's not good looking, it's like when you want you go to a book store and you want to buy a book, personnaly I first look at the cover of the book, and I usually pick the "best looking" ones. For a website it's exactly the same, even if the content is good, I will stay les time on a website that doesn't have a clear design. And your new website design really is good on that point.
Two more things, I know it's not about the design of your website, but I want to tell you that your tip and app sections are really good, and it's the first time I see a tip section on a website like this one. So that's make your website even better. The other good thing is the integrated market store.
So in conclusion, I really like this website, I'm a new member but I'm sure that I'll come more often, and I've seen that you have different OS website, so that really intersting.
My current phone is not working, and I don't have the money to buy a new one, so I would say any of these great phones is good for me but I still have a preference for the beautiful Yellow Nokia lumia 920
Raph from Mars

P.S: Thank you for the competition, it's a super duper cool idea I think.

Loving the new site! Nice mix of metro and modern site design. Much less default and a lot more interesting to browse than your previous version. Good job!
If I'm lucky enough to win this competition, I would LOVE a Lumia 920 in red :D. Fingers crossed!!

At first I didn't like the new design but as I have used it, it has grown on me. It's really looking great and I prefer it over the previous one. As for the phone, I would love a Lumia 920, it has really gotten me in love!

Hey there, first of all = AWESOME CONTEST!
Love the site, definitely my first stop to get up to date with all the windows phone info, I don't have a WP YET, they are really hard to find here in spain.
So, yes, in case i win (lots of comments so far, so the odds are a bit slim) I'd LOVE to get the lumia 920! Can we choose the color? Because yellow would be a killer prize.
About the site: a bit overwhelming actually, bright green, cyan and magente is a bit much. Specially when you consider the content density of the site (not mentioning the sidebar). Guess you'll be testing to see which modules work and which don't during the next few weeks and change accordingly.
That's it, comment is already too long, GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

Love the new design!
Very clean and Windows Phone like! For sure more refreshing to look at than some other big tech blogs out there. You got me checking out the site everyday now.
An HTC 8X would totally be awesome to have. Thanks guys!

I love how the design follows the "modern ui" style ( metro ). Personally i think that the latest articles should be above shop accesories in the sidebar, but maybe that's just me, all in all a decent design :).
I'd love a Lumia 920.

I like the new site because it's simple and is easy to find the information I'm looking for. I specially like the header, I think that pink, blue and green combines perfectly! :)
I would like to win a blue HTC 8X.

lumia 920 absoultely kicks ass. ive been waiting for this phone for too long. i sheep may unfortuantely be the vast majoirty of the population, but sophisticated people will choose wp8. long live intelligence, im all lumia.

Lumia 920, yellow. For AT&T please :D
I really like your new website, very colorful, very easy to navigate. Your website actually greatly helped me with my decision to choose windows. I was very unhappy with my android, so I read your website and researched and got an lg quantum to replace my laggy android. I'm expecting to love my windows phone, but I may never get it because its stuck in a post office in New York because of hurricaine sandy. But I can tell you, I already love my windows phone because of the windows to Mac syncing application. I love it already. :) new windows phone fan, right here. (Apple fan, no more)

As a newcomer to wpcentral, here's my impressions of the website.
I really like the "live-tile" inspired design, showing the latest additions news at the top of the site. It feels modern and brings the wp feel. However, I would prefer to give the right column with latest news, latest discussions, reviews etc a place in the middle. This because i tend to only read and watch the right column as i'm scrolling down in order to get a quicker and faster overview of whats new. I also miss a dedicated video section to find and watch reviews, previews, comparisons etc quickly. It can for example be done by just placing a nice wide "video" tile at the top of the page. Also, i just found the wpcentral app and its great, so why not put the "download app" tile up to the top to promote it even more?

You're making a terrific good work bringing all the news, reviews, tips of great apps to current (and future) wp owners.
Now, you can bring me a Nokia Lumia 920. The grey or the yellow one will do. I'll let you decide.

I like the new layout visually. Some things could be better though, for instance the home page should have the page # in the URL so that windows 8's IE can use the "next page" feature which is awesome.

The new WP Central site is clean, modern and intuitive just like Windows Phone 8 on the Lumia 920. Great reviews, forums and overall info.
All other OEM phones looks great, but the Lumia 920 (grey or red) is exactly what I needed to convert me to WP8.
Cheers WPCentral.

I love how many sites are going towards the Metro UI style. It is much cleaner and easier to see. I would love the Lumia 920 but sadly Nokia desided it was a fantastic idea to only have it for AT&T. I am a Verizon guy and used to deal with AT&T's crap. My choices are (HTC 8X, Lumia 822 or Samsung Ativ Odaccy), not exactly the best choices considering that Samsung's phone we know nothing about, is it going to be the Ativ S or something entirely different. The Lumia 822 is ugly and is very dissapointing. Why Verizon needed a different design is beyond me. Finally the HTC 8X, Not a fan of HTC. They have horrible battery life, (I know from using the HTC Trophy).
I really wish the Lumia 920 was a Verizon phone. I am forced with only one option, Lumia 822. I love how Nokia is giving me and many others a reason to drop Spotify, with their free music for the life of the phone. I love Windows Phone and hope it shakes the compitition up.
Good Luck to everyone!

I love the new design, 'tis very Metro-esque (although I'm guessing, that's the wrong word to say now...). Even so, I love the colours, bold, bright and far cry from other 'technology' blogs which tend to be all greys and black. Clean, simple, bold and bright. ♥
Also, I have to go with the Nokia Lumia 920, because that is one sexy phone. ;)

First of all, the site simply look amazing. Not that it was not earlier, with the content I am getting all about my Windows Phone, it was really awsome. And now with this new layout, this looks like icing on a cake when you see it using a windows phone. So far I am experiencing and watching it day to day on my Lumia 710, I would love to check it on Nokia 820.... simply amazing phone and I would love to be updated on all news about Windows Phone on Nokia Lumia 820 on wpcentral.com

The new site is easy to navigate and appropriate considering the Windows Phone 8 UI, well done!
I'm in love with the Lumia line and would be over the moon to win the Lumia 820! Thanks for the opportunity!!

Today is the first day I've visited the site. I found the app in the store a while ago and have been hooked since. Check it multiple times a day. But this is supposed to be about the site. The site is nice, clean. Not sure how it looked before, so I cannot compare. Like I said though, the app rocks. It's everything a blog app should be. If I win I would like an unlocked Nokia Lumia 920. If that is not possible, a Nokia Lumia 810 from T-mobile USA, please

I like the new site design! The colors are complementary and are nice to the eye. I also like the cool little mobile nations bar at the botom and the angled lines that provide texture to the bar. It remind me of the microsoft surface and the tiny razor thing pink line is also a cute little attention to detial that pays off. The site is cleanly designed like the Lumia 920 and it'd metro interface that I could hopefully get. :D

I love the modern design!
My favourite smartphone cleearly is the Nokia Lumia 920. Best design, perfect hardware, fully featured and - Windows Phone :)
And I like to switch from Android to Windows Phone! I miss the Nokia maps...

I really like the new design! I love how highlights are placed on top so I don't have to scroll too much. The design is very Metro. Navigation is smooth and easy. Perhaps you can tone down the font size of the titles. But all in all, very nice! Two thumbs up! :D
If I were to win this contest, I'd love to have the Lumia 920! Preferably in Cyan. ;D Thank you WPCentral!

i will like to have lumia 920 .....
because i had lumia 800 ....and i love it ....
first of all it is different from those boring android
and it has faith of nokia :)
...i like the way nokia 920 looks,,sexyyyyyy,and it had windows 8 ...
just want to get it......

I actually like the new look, and the update to the tile on windows phone as well, as far as the phones, I'm really on the fence between the Lumia 920 and the Samsung Ativ S , the Lumia because of the superior camera hardware and Nokia App exclusive apps, and the Samsung for the slimness, professional look , expandable memory, and screen size (I have what you might call "sausage fingers"...lol), so the 4.8 is very attractive. Good Luck to all 7k commenters.

Samsung ATIV sounds different and is different than the usual Lumia brigade. Also I do have Samsung android products so I would really like to win this as I am anyway enjoying Windows 8 Pro right now on my pc. Would just love to compare the ATIV with my other samsung products.

The new site design is ok. To be honest I think some of the colors clash and it feels a bit busy to me. But navigation wise it is certainly an improvement and it all feels a bit faster overall which is nice. But I think darker colors would work better especially with the new Windows 8 theme you guys I think are going for.

As for the device of my preference I think I will still lean towards the Lumia 920 the whole LTE thing and Battery thing with the 8X leaves me a bit worried. I know the 920 is a fat and heavy device but if it makes it through a whole day with use I will be pretty pleased.
